Extracorporeal Circuit Preparation and Line Connection - Attaching the Venous Blood Line
1. Attach the venous blood line to one of the blood line holders in the
prime bucket. Close the clamp on the venous patient line.
6. Place the blood line into the venous clamp (marked with a blue dot).
7. Gently pull the blood line down to secure in place.
8. Make sure that the venous blood line is properly placed in the
priming detector and venous blood line clamp. The venous blood line
must be properly installed in the priming detector so that blood can
be detected at the start of treatment.
9. Attach the venous pressure transducer protector to the blue venous
pressure transducer connector. Turn to secure the connections -
transducer line to transducer protector and transducer protector to
transducer connector on the machine.
Note: Do NOT clamp the pressure transducer line.

below the air detector and that the chamber extends above the top of
the air detector. While pressing the center of the cover, close the air
detector cover.
5. Remove the protective caps and connect the end of the venous
blood line to the dialyzer. Make sure the venous blood line is
securely connected to the dialyzer.
